The OrderWriter is a workflow tool for buyers that's used to enter orders, keep track of spending and maintain a good financial and visual overview during the buying season.
OrderWriter is an iOS-only app that works offline. When internet is available, the offline client connects with our cloud every 30 seconds and whenever it stores new data. This cloud connection enables synchronization with different devices, backups and use of cloud functions like exporting PDFs, exporting to ERPs and more.
From a data perspective, OrderWriter is a tool that uses so-called Masterdata from the POS (e.g. article_groups, colors, size_groups, sizes) in order to create orders and articles. These will be exported as an order and pricat .
Connections are mostly setup through a provided FTP or SFTP server, and placing/pulling files onto/from a predefined folder structure. In some cases it's possible to work with APIs, removing the need for file transfer.
The following data connections need to be setup between an ERP (retail-system) and OrderWriter.
Below is a simple schematic on how it works:
